is too big.
Has anyone ever cut a mirror in half or quarters?
Obviously not the frame, just the mirror itself.
I'm assuming it's similar to cutting normal glass with a glass cutter and a match stick

Weve had all manners of glass cut Bobbymac, take it to a specialist and tell them to go slowly, if it gets too hot it burns the backing and you can see it through the glass.

Suddenly everyones a friggin comedian :D

If you must know...

I have 2 old wardrobe mirror doors (30in x 87in) than I'd like to cut down to 6in tiles to fit on my kitchen wall between the worktop and the wall cupboards.

That will give me 70 tiles which would cost me about £100 including delivery

Bob,

No offence but that's gonna look crap. You'll not get a clean enough cut on the edges without polishing them professionally and if you're using grout it'll look like a dog's dinner. You'll need proper mirrored tiles.
